Summary: The Jabber Jays

The Jabber Jays were created by the Capitol for military spying on enemies. They possess the ability to memorize and repeat entire human conversations. But their purpose backfired as the enemies fed the birds lies, so the operation was abandoned and the birds were left to die in the wild. In spite of this, the exclusively male Jabber Jays mated with the local Mocking Birds to create their own distinct species, Mocking Jays. This species lost the ability to reiterate human conservations; instead it could retell complex melodies. Even though the Capitol released them into the wild, accurate estimates of population size and density can be extremely valuable. Whether it is used to increase, stabilize, or decrease the population or for human benefit.

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have a mutualism symbolic relationship during the Hunger Games. Their association was the key cause of both their survival in the Games. Katniss pretends that she is in love with Peeta in order to please the sponsors to get gifts for both of them. At the end, this relationship results in their victory of the Hunger Games. Their interaction increases their chances of survival because it causes viewers to sympathize them as they are perceived to be“star-crossed lovers from District Twelve” (Collins 135). More interest and attention, means more sponsors. During the games, every time Katniss and Peeta share a romantic moment they are rewarded by much needed life-saving gifts from their sponsors. For example, as Katniss and Peeta share their first kiss, they receive the gift of hot broth. Katniss realizes that Haymitch, the District 12 tribute mentor, wants her to play up the romance. As Katniss obeys, they receive more gifts that assist in their survival. Their relationship allowed there to be two winners than just one that was permitted. They threatened to commit suicide when the Game makers forced them to kill each other, using their planted love to their advantage ther was no winner. The Games end with both of them

An example of commensalism symbiosis is the relationship between Katniss and the Mocking Jays. Mocking Jays possess the ability to repeat complex melodies. This relationship allowed Katniss to communicate and regroup with her allies Rue, a District 11 tribute, and Peeta when they were separated without alerting their opponents. They did this by whistling a melody. The Mocking Jays do not benefit nor are they harmed by this relationship, they are
